Why does our rivalry trash talk always have to revolve around the past? I keep seeing folks on here bringing up the 2013 Kick Six or the 2017 SEC Championship like those moments alone sustain us forever. We got a whole new era under Coach Sumrall now and I am tired of living on nostalgia points. The portal has completely reshuffled the deck and we are making moves while some of our rivals are still running. If you want to talk Iron Bowl, let's talk about who is trending in 2026 NOT 2013. We are stacking bodies in spring workouts and I hear the energy in the weight room is completely different from. Meanwhile I see other programs burning through portal guys like they're playing Madden franchise mode trying to find chemistry. We are building something sustainable and the trash talk needs to catch up to the present.
